Aluguéis por temporada em Oakland

Late summer and early fall offer some of the warmest days and best sailing of the year! Due to COVID-19 I am limiting the number of guests to allow for maximum social distancing. Hand sanitizer is on board. Thank you. Welcome aboard my Downeaster 38, "Fred B. Wood"! Designed by renowned naval architect, Henry Morschlad, this Downeaster is in exceptionally good condition. Downeaster's are known as being stout and seaworthy bluewater cruisers. They can be found all over the globe. This experience is available for up to six guests! (Please note that I recently upgraded to a larger Downeaster 38 from an Ericson 27 which is shown in some of the photos!) Your three-hour adventure starts at Jack London Square. The route will depend on wind conditions; however, our goal is to cross the bay to see the marvelous sites of South Beach Harbor (home of the SF Giants), the financial district, the bay bridge, and then Treasure Island. During the tour, you'll see amazing wildlife; including, flocks of pelicans, sea lions, and the occasional dolphin! This is an active experience! I will review the basics of sailing (wind angle, general terms for operating the vessel, and rules of the road). You will take a turn at the helm (wheel), manage the sheets that control the sails, and raise and lower the sails. Naturally, you are also welcome to just sit back and enjoy the amazing views.

Watch the animals while I explain the brain chemicals that motivate them. It's easy to see how animals respond to dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, endorphin & cortisol; and that helps us recognize these chemicals in ourselves. Our natural happy chemicals reward you with a good feeling when you meet a survival need. Unhappy chemicals alarm you with a bad feeling when you see a survival threat. To see how this works, we'll start with small-brained animals and work up. You'll discover the survival choices animals make in every moment and see amazing parallels with our daily lives. We'll talk about the stress chemicals too. It's not easy being mammal! - Your questions are welcome! I can address your specific interests since I have studied the animal brain a lot. - Well-behaved children are welcome because I address reproductive behavior with family-friendly euphemisms. - I speak Spanish & French. The tour is in English but I can translate some phrases. - It's fun! You will come away with a deep respect for the happy power of your brain! - Logistics: You purchase your own admission tickets. (In advance if possible) We meet at the MAIN entrance. I can provide transportation advice. - The focus is on wild animals since our brain evolved in the wild, but domesticated animals (zoo + pets) can teach us something. - Flexibility: I'm happy to schedule other times/places on request. Other things to note No special knowledge is needed or expected. Come ready to laugh. The mammal brain creates the drama of daily life!

The perfect experience for everyone! Great for families, friends and ideal for company off-sites/team building. This breathtaking 2 mile walking tour of San Francisco's hidden stairways is the #1 rated Airbnb Experience in the Bay Area, loved by both locals and tourists alike. See gorgeous mosaic tiled steps and hear the stories behind them, then take in stunning 360° views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park and downtown San Francisco. You'll also discover beautiful neighborhoods and gardens that many locals are not aware of and that tourists rarely see. Oh, and you might even go home with a succulent! I'll provide commentary, context and some history along the way. Generally SF is dry May-October. There can be fog in the summertime, mostly in the morning. Temps rarely above 70F (21C) or below 50F (10C). Rain may cancel. Guests should be reasonably fit. Though we don't cover many miles, some of the terrain is steep. It will be necessary to carry small children as strollers are not suitable. If you bring a guest that’s under 18, it’s your responsibility to make sure the activities they participate in are age-appropriate. Instagram: @hiddenstairsSF or hiddenstairsSF@gmail.com

We'll start with framing your creation-to-be. Pick out a photo you'd like to make into a stencil then pick a frame size. Next we head into Procreate to design your stencil. You will be instructed on selecting contours to trace, shadows to capture, and geometries to avoid to make your stencil both iconic and reproducible. Once you finish your design, take a short break while your stencil gets cut. Apply stencil to your block/canvas, spray paint with your color of choice, peel, and voilà! You have a personalized piece of art YOU made. Send your design to yourself too, so you can create more stencils! Other things to note No drawing experience required. Be prepared to work tho!
